Technical Drawings 1901









I recently purchased an entire portfolio of
technical drawings beautifully excecuted by
a man called Fritz Schubeler von Winterthur.
Fritz studied in Zurich at the Eidgenossischen
Polytechnikums from 1899-1903. The portfolio
follows his study from drawing simple shapes to
highly complicated pieces towards the end of
his term at the college. The collection comprises
of 75 different drawings all perfectly drawn by
hand , long before the advent of computer aided
design.
